Sun‑soaked sandbars and pocket beaches
The itinerary seeks out sandbars and beaches to bask on and, when conditions permit, to swim from—quiet stretches of shoreline that make the tour feel like a private coastal retreat.
Playful dolphin encounters

Private, relaxed tiki‑style cruising
Designed for groups of one to six, the outing is a private tiki tour: BYOB, bring snacks, and settle in for a day of casual exploration and sun-drenched downtime on the water.
